Water wiper

ABSTRACT

A water wiper includes a body, a wiping plate, and a securing strip. The body has a handle formed in an upper portion, and a linking member formed in a lower portion. The linking portion has plural notches and lock holes. The wiping plate is combined with the body, provided with a wiping member formed in an outer side, and a linking member formed in an inner side and provided with plural insert ridges to fit in the insert groove of the body. The linking member of the wiping plate has plural lock holes. The securing strip secures the wiping plate with the body, provided with plural insert projections and insert pins to correspond to the notches and the lock holes of the body. Then the water wiper can be assembled and disassembled easily and stably, closely contacting on an object, quickly and cleanly wiping off water drops.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to a water wiper, particularly to one convenientto replace a wiping plate, simple to assemble and disassemble, quitesecure after assembled, possible to contact closely the outer surface ofan object to be wiped for quickly and cleanly wiping off water drops onthe object.

2. Description of the Prior Art

A conventional water wiper shown in FIG. 1, includes a handle 11provided with a plate groove 12 in a lower portion, and a plastic wipingplate 13 having one side fitted tightly in the plate groove 12, and thensecured with glue poured in the plate groove or being nailed tightlywith nails (N) to fix the wiping plate 13 with the body 11. After theconventional water wiper is used for a period of time, the glue maydegenerate and fall off or the nails may be too slender to hold tightlythe wiping plate 13 with the handle 11, or the sharp nails may scar thesurface of an object to be wiped. In addition, the locations of nailsmay rift to make the wiper useless and to be thrown away, making upwaste and pollute the environment.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention has been devised to offer a water wiper easily assembledand disassembled, possible to contact closely on an object to be wiped.

The feature of the invention is a body provided with a handle and alinking member, a wiping plate provided with a wiping member and alocking member, and a securing strip provided with plural insert pins.The wiping plate is combined with the body by their linking members, andsecured stably with the body by the securing strip by means of theprojecting pins inserted in lock holes of the body and the wiping plate.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

A preferred embodiment of a water wiper in the present invention, asshown in FIG. 2, includes a body 2, a wiping plate 3, and a securingstrip 4 as main components combined together.

The body 2 is provided with a handle 20 in one side, and a linkingmember 21 in the other side. The linking member 21 is provided with aninsert groove 210, plural notches 211 formed in the insert groove 210,plural locking holes 212 spaced apart equidistantly, and a lengthwiseouter edge 213.

The wiping plate 3 is combined with the body 2, made of silica gel,provided with a wiping member 30 at an outer side, a wiping blade 300respectively formed at two lateral sides, a second blade 301 formed in alengthwise outer side, and a linking member 31 formed in an innerlengthwise side to combine with the linking member 21 of the body 2. Thewiping member 30 has a cross section of a cross shape, and the secondwiping blade 301 has a cross section of a triangular cone shape.Further, the linking member 30 has an insert strip 310 with plural gaps311 spaced apart to correspond to the notches 211 of the body 2. And thelinking member 31 has plural lock holes 312 to correspond to the lockholes 212 of the body 2, and a lengthwise projecting ridge 313 to fitwith the lengthwise outer edge of the body 2.

The securing strip 4 is to secure the wiping plate 3 with the body 2,provided with plural insert projections 40 spaced apart to projectinward to fit in the notches 211 of the body 2, and plural insert pins41 spaced apart to protrude inward to fit in both the lock holes 312 ofthe wiping plate 3 and the lock holes 212 of the body 2.

In assembling, referring to FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, at first, place thelinking member 31 of the wiping plate 3 on the linking member 21 of thebody 2, letting the insert strip 310 of the linking member 31 of wipingplate 3 insert in the insert groove 212 of the body 2, with theprojecting ridge 313 of the linking member 31 resting on the outer edge213 of the body 2. Further, the gaps 311 of the wiping plate 30 may facethe notches 211 of the body 2, and the lock holes 312 of the linkingmember 31 may be aligned to the lock holes 212 of the body 2. Theninsert the insert projections 40 of the securing strip 4 in the notches211 of the body 2, and the insert pins 41 through the lock holes 312 ofthe wiping plate 3 and further in the lock holes 212 of the body 2,finishing assembly of the water wiper.

Next, in using, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the water wiper is to beused for wiping water drops on the surface of a glass, hold the handle20 of the body 2, place the wiping member 30 of the wiping plate 3 onthe surface of the glass, and use the first wiping blade 300 for wipingwater drops. In case that any dirty matters such as dead insects, soliddirt, etc. then the second wiping blade 391 is used. As the wiping plate3 is made of silica gel, it can closely and softly contact the surfaceof a glass. So the water wiper can carry out wiping work quickly andcleanly.

If the wiping plate 3 is used, worn and has to be replaced with a newone, the securing strip 4 is only needed to be taken off, and then theold wiping plate 3 is removed from the body 2, and a new one can becombined with the body 2 and then the securing strip is fitted with thewiping plate 3 and the body 2 with convenience.

The invention has the following advantages, as can be understood fromthe foresaid description.

1. The wiping plate can be easily and quickly replaced with a new one.

2. The wiping plate is made of silica gel, possible to closely andsoftly contacting the surface of an object for swiftly and cleanlyremoving water drops

3. It is provided with the second wiping blade having a cross section ofa triangular cone for removing dirty matters such as dead insects.

4. The securing strip can be combined with the body by means ofinserting or pulling out the insert ridge 310 fitting in the insertgroove 210, the projecting ridge 313 resting on the outer edge 213, andthe insert pins 41 inserting in the lock holes of both the wiping plate3 and those 212 of the body 2. Therefore, the water wiper can beassembled and disassembled with convenience, speed, stability, andwithout using glue or nails, having a long life and cutting down itscost.
